Hakka House is a hidden gem with great vibes for authentic Taiwanese comfort food. I ordered the…read moreTaiwanese Beef Noodle Soup along with the Braised Beef Tendon and Beef Brisket, and both dishes were outstanding. The broth in the noodle soup was rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care, while the beef was tender and packed with flavor. The braised tendon and brisket were equally impressive, perfectly cooked with that melt-in-your-mouth texture you hope for in a traditional Taiwanese dish. What really made the experience special was the owner, who is from Taiwan and incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell there is a lot of pride and authenticity behind the food. The portions were very generous, especially considering the fair prices, making it one of the best values I've found for Taiwanese cuisine. If you're looking for authentic flavors, hearty portions, and warm hospitality, Hakka House is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.

I usually judge a katsu place by the first bite, and this one surprised me. The crust had that…read moreperfect crisp where you can actually hear the crunch, but it never felt heavy or oily. The pork was incredibly tender and juicy, which made every bite feel balanced instead of just fried. One thing I really appreciated was that every part of the meal felt intentional. The rice was fluffy, the cabbage was fresh and crisp, the miso soup was comforting, and the pickles helped reset your palate between bites. It's the kind of meal where nothing on the tray feels like an afterthought. The atmosphere made it easy to slow down and enjoy dinner. It was busy, but the staff stayed welcoming and checked in at the right times without making us feel rushed. You can tell they care about both the food and the experience. What stood out the most is that Kobuta & Ookami doesn't try to overwhelm you with giant portions or flashy presentation. Instead, it focuses on doing the basics exceptionally well, and that's what makes it memorable. It's one of those restaurants where you finish your meal already thinking about what you'll order on your next visit. If you're looking for a place that takes tonkatsu seriously, this is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back.

Came on a Wednesday around 1:00 PM and there was no line and no issues parking in the lot…read more Menu has many options of pork cuts and other proteins like chicken and shrimp. I love Japanese curry, and was so stoked to see such a unique curry on the menu (made with dark chocolate so it gives a richer flavor). $5 more to add shredded cabbage and miso soup; I definitely think this is worth it because there's no other fresh greens in the entree. It helps cut the heavy, fried-ness of the katsu and provides a different texture. My shrimp (ebi) katsu curry was so flaky and crispy, which is so hard to find at katsu shops where the breading is cakey and falls off the protein. However, the shrimp to flakes ratio was off and I could hardly taste the shrimp or know when I bit shrimp versus the flakes because there was so much breading. This wasn't a problem for the pork katsu, though! The portion size is massive; half the plate is rice, and the other half is the curry. For $29 for the shrimp katsu ($34 total pre tax and tip after adding the shredded cabbage and miso soup combo), I think it's worth the price if you're starving or sharing. I think it'd be cool if they did a protein combo where you pick two proteins, especially because they have a variety of pork options. This would help people justify their cost while tasting more of the menu with less overwhelming commitment. Servers are kind and attentive, and they don't rush you when you order or need more time. The interior is beautiful and well-lit with bar seating, tables and booths, and high top tables too. I'd come again if I wanted to share a katsu entree with a friend!

Shaburina is our go to hot pot. Their broth is always so tasty, they have a free buffet, and their…read moresauce buffet is elite! We have tried other places but we keep coming back to shaburina because the service is always amazing and the food is great. They have added tablets at every table to order food, drinks, or refills. It's super easy to use and definitely a game changer. Only sad part is they now serve ice cream in a disposable cup rather than a cone. I hope they were just out of cones and this isn't a permanent change.

I'm torn between a 3 & 4 because the food is always good…read more We frequent often and love the food and have never had bad service until the night that mattered. My son graduated and I made reservations here in advance and called to ask about a table for 10, and if they could accommodate us and they said they could. Great! And I separately called about wanting to bring cupcakes and if that was allowed and they were cool with that, so super! It is one of my son's favorite spots so when the evening arrived, we got to the restaurant only to be led to a table that seated 6 in one corner and 4 kitty corner from that table. So...a family gathering had to be split, with 4 of us not even being at the same table as my son-including me. Mom. And in order to be close to him I sat with my back turned from him. Not ideal at all. So I was definitely miffed by this. I approached someone about it-not sure if he's the manager or not but he was very apologetic about it and said that they don't have seating for 10 at one table. But they tried their best by putting us all in the corner together. Not the same thing unfortunately as we could not all celebrate or converse all together. I told him that I had called specifically asking if they could accommodate 10 and I was assured they could but I did not know I had to ask "at the same table?". They should have been forthcoming that it would be at two different tables otherwise I would have made a reservation elsewhere for the celebration. What could I do but just accept his apology? But then, with a party of 10, I would think we would get extra attention but I guess since tip is already included after 5 in a party, they just called it in because I had to ask for more plates, more napkins, spoons, & water because the setting at the table was for 2, and we had 4. No one even asked us if we needed any more broth nor did they ever come to ask if anyone wanted a refill of the AYCE meats. Not that we could eat anymore but no one even offered. And, since everyone had to order the same meat plates, and one person wanted the wagyu, we all had to get wagyu at our table. Doesn't seem fair to me especially when they don't even offer more but I guess that's policy. When my son and I come in by ourselves, they are very attentive and always ask us if we need more of anything. But it was hard to find anyone to come to our table. They never checked on us after they brought the broth and meats the one time. So let me say I was very upset that the tip was included because really, no one served us unless we asked for more things. No one checked on us. Then I had to go and find someone so we could pay our bill. They apologized again for not seating us together but what could I say at that point? I'm not going to make a scene but it ruined a special night when all of the family couldn't sit together. Very disappointed with this visit especially when it's one of our fave places and we frequent it often and spent a good amount of $ that night with 10 people.

I tend to let my wife order for me so she can scratch all the craving itches she might have during our meal here. I had one gripe about my meal. I upgraded to onion rings to my order. My order included four onion rights. Compared to the amount of fries my wife got with her meal, I thought the amount of onions rings in my order was on the side of too few. Oh wells. We will still continue to come here regardless of the amount of onions included in the meal.

But the workers said we can do takeout and enjoy our food on the picnic tables. There wasn't much parking in the lot, so we had to find street parking in the neighborhood. For three of us, we shared two pizzas and a side. We got the everyday I'm truffling pizza and the hot honey pepperoni pizza. I loved the thinly sliced potatoes on the truffle pizza, and the hot honey pizza was a good classic. It wasn't too spicy for me. The pizza boxes were also super cute and fun. We also got the burrata, and this is one of the best appetizers I've had. The bread was good, and the smoothness of the burrata was unmatched. I would definitely recommend making the drive out to Spark Pizza and trying their burrata!

Entire parking lot full, and every space taken to even wait. Outside has a patio that's a nice causal space for big parties. We ordered a gluten free homage to frankie's ($31) overall, the taste was good, and toppings were fresh. The crust was very hard and tough to eat though. I would try again and maybe it would be better on a different day. The price is expensive where every pizza is +$4 to be made gf. The price would justify if the crust is better, but I do see the potential!
